It was the first secular nursing school in the world, and is now part of King's College London. ![]() In 1860, she laid the foundation of professional nursing with the establishment of her nursing school at St Thomas' Hospital in London. Recent commentators have asserted that Nightingale's Crimean War achievements were exaggerated by the media at the time, but critics agree on the importance of her later work in professionalising nursing roles for women. She gave nursing a favourable reputation and became an icon of Victorian culture, especially in the persona of "The Lady with the Lamp" making rounds of wounded soldiers at night. Nightingale came to prominence while serving as a manager and trainer of nurses during the Crimean War, in which she organised care for wounded soldiers. Mankind must make heaven before we can 'go to heaven' (as the phrase is), in this world as in any other.įlorence Nightingale was an English social reformer, statistician and the founder of modern nursing. ![]()

I want to know and read everything, but as a result I end up knowing and reading far less than I would if I just got on with it, instead of bouncing about all over the place trying to find out all the things. ![]() This dreadful inability to retain stuff frustrates me more than I can say. When people started talking about the Binti novellas I didn’t even connect Okorafor with Lagoon at first. I am ashamed to say I then did absolutely nothing about getting or reading it.

I first heard of Nnedi Okorafor back in 2014 when I read about her novel Lagoon. ![]() ![]() And that love story is pretty predictable and boring, to tell the truth.
